Come Back, Como: Winning the Heart of a Reluctant Dog
$23.99
No, this is not a Marley and Me imitation. This is a very personal story about an adopted dog with a damaged psyche and a story with lots of twists and turns and trials and tribulations. Steven Winn is an excellent writer. He is able to take you to place and time without being overly verbose. The story is touching and funny all at the same time. The story is compulsively readable - you'll find yourself reading longer than you plan, as you journey into the world of Como and the family that loves him. It is a story that I was able to relate to even more because I am the owner of an adopted, damaged dog of my own and, just like Como, my dog ultimately brought joy to our household. I highly recommend this story.

Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown, and don't come back! [VHS]
$9.95
I eagerly await the release of this Peanuts masterpiece on DVD. It's charming, and hilarious without being mean or cheap--an achievement that is so rare even in family entertainment these days--and I say this as a cynical 30-something.

This movie has it all: comedy, romance, mystery, drama, action, AND a sweet soundtrack. Seriously! I used to watch this movie all the time (after we recorded it from TV onto Beta, yes, Beta), and the main theme is playing in my head as I type.

Highlights for me were: Snoopy getting sudsy at the local tavern, Peppermint Patty's delusional interpretations of male behavior, foosball!

Mary Poppins Comes Back
$12.95
The vain and haughty, quick-witted beloved nanny is back in P.L. Travers's MARY POPPINS COMES BACK.

Poppins takes the Banks children and the reader on more fantastic adventures and meeting her colorful friends, where anything can happen.

From being pulled into plates to welcoming a new addition to the Banks family to an evening in the sky with a circus full of stars, it's wonderful whenever Mary Poppins is around!

Illustrator Mary Shepard is back lending her talents with the great drawings for the book that compliment the wild stories.

The book is perfect for bedtime story-telling and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages. No wonder these books have endured for so long!

The Cat in the Hat Comes Back (Beginner Books(R))
$8.99
My daughter loves the read along and the cat in the hat book. I am enjoy snuggling next to hear and reading the book as well and not have to be the one reading every time.
